I have the top end xps 13 now (1tb ssd, 16g ram and i7). It has the qhd touchscreen... I'd pay to bump it down to the 1080p matte. The touchscreen hurts battery so much (not the digitizer, the fact it's 3800*1600 or something). It's like 3x the number of pixels for no reason

if I had an unlimited budget I'd get two laptops, an MSI GT80S with full-retard specs and one of those dell xps 13s with the tiny bezel.

For $700-800 I wouldn't bother getting another laptop. My old core 2 dell latitude with 4 gigs of ram, 64 gig ssd, and a new off-brand battery does everything I need away from my desktop.

I also have an old revision 2 macbook that's pretty useless beyond shitposting/light browsing.

The ideal laptop for non gayming:

>sharp screen
>stable secure OS

And if you need some power
>powerful processor
>8 or more gigs of ram
>adobe and Microsoft software support
>properly supported Unix system

And in case you need Linux
>good Linux support
>Intel graphics

Besides a macbook, what modern laptop offers all that? Tell me if you know the answer, I'd like to replace my 2007 hp convertible.

If i had infinite money and didn't care i'd probably get a mbp with all the bells and whistles. Since i don't, my current t420 works great and won't need replacing for a long time. No laptop in $700 - 800 range i'd just keep the t420.

The thing disappeared a year ago and my friend found it between his bed and wall a few months ago, when I got it back I popped in the SSD, upgraded it to 5GB RAM, and bought a dock, I'm probably going to stick with it for a while. 10/10 laptop

If I only have $800 I can spend, I have more important things to buy than a laptop

Macbooks used to be shit compared to all the competition. Then normies happened to the mobile computing market.

Nowadays, all laptops are so garbage that even Macbooks are more worth than most all of the trash that companies put out every year.

Unlimited money: I'd buy the ThinkPad line from Lenovo and make a custom ThinkPad that's an updated version (latest processor, most advanced GPU, better battery technology) of the T43p I had years ago. I'd keep the ALPS keyboard, the rubberized exterior, and the 4:3 aspect ratio. I'd quadruple the resolution to 2800x2100.

$700 - $800: I dunno. Some business class Dell POS. It works and doesn't break too often.

What I have now: A late 2013 MacBook Pro with 15" Retina display. I like it but like all of the other Macs I've had, a non-moving part has failed. I'm sick to death of Apple's low-quality components priced at a premium.
